I am so sorry for your loss. It was an honor to have known Catherine. I worked with her way back at Handy CITY. She was a friend to all.

Oh how she loved to cook and do gardening and was good at it! I remember specifically the fig cakes and St. Joseph altar things. I am thinking and praying for your family! Hugs to you all from Hattiesburg.
